So this weekend was the Redbull Jam at Whistler. We just went for the finals day on Saterday and rocked up in Ryan's pimp wagon about an hour before it started. The course looked pretty nuts, starting out with a real trailsy section at the top coming down through increasingly larger sets until it converged on 'the big dog' which was about 25' I guess, then into a s bend set of berms to slow the rider down a bit, over a little set then off a 10' drop step down and into the final jump which was about 25'-30' with a 10' lip and a 12' landing. Pretty nuts looking. The riders had 3 runs and best 2 counted. I can't remember alot of the names but highlights were Luke Parslow turndown flipping the big dog higher than some were jumping it, Luke also doing the hugest frontflips on the last, Cory Bohan doing his usual styles and crazy tricks, he was doing tailwhips then tucking them into a nose dive which looked rad. Doyle as usual nuts turndown 3's over the big dog, colin mackay rode the trails section real good throwing multiplr tricks into most jumps. Nyquist twisting everything including an x up twist over the big dog where I swear he held the x for 2 seconds. I dunno to much stuff to mention, I'll put together a little vid when I get home. in the meantime check this...
http://fbmx.feeblebmx.com/photos/albums/new/redbull1.wmvResults were:
1. Nyquist - 720's, barspin flips, double trucks
2. Corey Bohan or Dordy Boner as we like to call him - whips, table 3's, big front flip
3. Luke Parslow - Huge back flips with variations, Huge front flips
Best trick was won by James Foster for his tripple whip to the pedals, clean as a whistle. Also in best trick Luke parslow pulled a rad superman whip flip and nyquist did a suicide double barspin flip. I thought he was gonna bust the 1080 but we figured he might of not wanted to steals fosters glory.
This weekend is Metro so should be equaly as nuts.
